No idea, looks vaguely European though. Or if you squint really maybe a Trojan 10 or 11 meter express hull that was customized into a runabout.
More importantly, what's the make & model of the topless chick at the dock? Need some better angles to figure it out. She's certainly not as broad in the beam as the boat.

There is a good chance it is a european boat. The picture is taken from the hôtel il pellicano in italy.
the picture is used as the cover of a book upon this particular hôtel.
But the mediterranean sea as always been a place where american boats were seen. A certain number of Magnum marine for example ( and Donzis !). So it is not unpossible that this is an non-european vessel.
chicks are european...
That would be a 1973 35' Magnum, it's on page 34 of the just released 50th anniversary Magnum book. Per the book at the helm is Filippo Theodoli & on on the deck is Katrin who now runs Magnum, 35+ years later she looks just as good. Back in April Mr Bill [redaleart] Jeff Hall & I had the pleasure meeting her @ Magnum, what a classy lady. Mark
Also as a side note, Katrin Theodoli is standing closest to the bow showing off their new yacht @ Pellicano Hotel Porto Ercole Italy august 1973.
What's the beam size?............the lenght doesn't look proportional to the width

Woaw !
What a quick find !
Arghhh ! I had the feeling it was a Magnum but i never found the model !
Thank you very much Smidgen too. The infos are very funny.
yes it is a large boat ! Have a look at this outboard version ! Need a large hand too (as i read here http://seriousoffshore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6429)
Meeting Katrin in person must have been a very special moment. When did she take over the "helm" of Magnum Marine again?

Somewhere I read about their first encounter and love story which sounded fairytale .
I met them at a boat show here in Texas in about 1976 or 1977 and I still remember asking Filippo why they bothered setting up a booth here when he had already told me their main market was in Europe. They both said they liked meeting boating people and it was a good way to get the Magnum name out there to the west of Florida. I was really impressed with both of them. Super nice people! I find it heart warming that Katrin has successfully carried on with the Magnum line.

What a picture ! It smells racing out there (oh yes it should with so many 2-strokes) !
it is visible on the black and white picture than the outside motors don't steer.
How many hp had each Merc tower at this period ?
